Hawatthia Jones and Byron Benetiz are two very impressive missionaries serving in Guatemala. I first met them at the US—Euro Family Retreat in Germany many years ago while we were serving as missionaries in Romania. Four years ago, they decided to host their first WEI short-term mission school. Below are quotes from their recent WEI report and the teams that participated this past summer. You can learn more about their mission at www.missionguate.com
Hawatthia writes,“This year, for the fourth time in a row, we were blessed to host teams from World English Institute. We continue to be impressed with the caliber of teachers that are involved in this ministry and the work that the teachers do while here. Needless to say, we continue to be sold on WEI!
“We had 25 students signed up to attend the classes. These students have a variety of backgrounds. Some are housewives; others are high-school students, and some are doctors, lawyers, accountants, and school teachers, just to name a few. Some of them speak English very well, and the practice they get with these classes usually makes their English skills even better. What excites us more, however, is that many of our students often find developing their knowledge of the Bible more interesting than developing their knowledge of English details. They know from the beginning that not only are we offering an English course but also the opportunity to study God’s Word, which only creates a greater desire to study for most of our students.”
Make your plans now to go and teach next year on a WEI short-term mission. Several mission sites all over the world have already requested teams. Here are just a few: Romania (3 cities), Albania (2 cities), Hungary, Guatemala, Cambodia, Nicaragua, Ukraine, Nigeria, Myanmar, and others. Contact me at weimaryville@aol.com for more details.
We cherish the partnership we share in the Great Commission with you.
